Scoring Marks Vs Scoring Less Marks

[vasan80in]

This is regarding the debate that happened last week regarding Scoring Marks Vs Scoring Less Marks. During this show I felt Gopinath was alway inclined toward not scoring marks, always trying a way to justify that scoring less marks also fetch you the same income and scoring more marks a person endup earning the same.
I felt being an anchor, he should be unbiased in his view and I believe overall in his show, he should try avoiding "hurting/insulting ppl view" for instance a Anna Univ girl questioned "What is India's GDP?, Who is Finance Minister? etc..I felt this part totally unnecessary. It wouldn't have taken much time to put a question back to him where he dozent answer the same.

As an Anchor he should take the view of both the side, and just carry the show. For Gopinath's Info (I am very sure this thread not going to be seen, but if he is going to see)

1. Sure India and particularly TN, has a bad practice of the getting 90% mark or greater. But remember this, it is because this urge to study has got India to where we are. 25 years back, we didnt have anything, we were a very closed economy. People cannot afford to eat outisde, watch movies, have cable tv etc...
2. It is because talent pool(People/student with good marks) in India, combined with english speaking skills boomed our economy, we attarcted FDI to India, and remember it is because of this talent we can afford for cable TV and watch vijay TV, boom in real estate(even with less scoring ppl can afford a business on their own).

3. Remember even though we score, our system is such that we dont innovate things like what Developed countries do. India will be more strong with research and innovation, so I believe there should more encouragement to study and innovate things rather than scoring less marks and lead a comfortable life, by doing real estate or any business. When Obama took power in US, he told to come out of this recession, we need to innovate more, which indirectly funding more on Studies and Research.

4. In all the people you interviewed the other day, the guy who scored less mark doing real estate/ catering etc.. you should have enquired Is he paying TAX to GOVT for all the big money he is earning.

5.Just give you some highlight about Indian Real Estate/any business. All the guys who do individual business in India are un-accountable, they dont pay tax..It is all black money floating in India, which is going affect India in a longer run.

Before taking subject please try to understand the same, dont take sides and dont pass any judgement. Your last week is about is just about "How to make money even scoring less marks"

I completely agree with vasan80in. Gopi, you have no right whatsoever to get angry with people in a public forum, and that is unethical! I think fame has corrupted you in some sort, and unfortunately you don't even read the thread in the forum. Please don't continue this moral policing act of yours! Discussions need to be healthy for everybody to get to an understanding. I think the show past weekend never brought any pros and cons for either side, but ended being a bashing arena.

It is sad that we all are pushed towards this training for marks rather than learning, and that is single reason why we only have one Gopinath instead a few more of them inspite of being a more literate society.

PS: I don't know why you invited Kalanidhi as a guest as he was a tyrant during his VC days and he became a VC purely on political backing. I would have been glad had you invited RM Vasagam and people prior to him.

Just my thoughts....

This program is one of the best steps in getting people equipped with the right knowledge. The episode aired on 23-Aug-2009 about scoring marks vs scoring less marks (aired in singapore) did bring out the underlying facts about pressure for students.

Very happy to see people who have scored average marks but have achieved greater heights in life.

I would like to highlight people who have never had the opportunity to attend university or any higher studies but are earning a living better than the people who have scored 90% and above.

These are people who donot even know how to speak basic english but are employed in various industries like Manufacturing, Construction, Shipping, Gardening etc in Singapore. They are definitely earning more than top scorers and also improving the life style of their families and improving the economy.

We had the opportunity to talk to few people from various industries.

Watch out this post for pictures of interview with these people.

You are right, there are lot of people in this world who work in Industries and manufacturing sectors, who earn more than ppl with good education/good marks.

But check out the same in India, do you think people in manufacturing sector earn more, I dont think so. There is lot of disparity between IT and other sectors in India.

In India there are uneducated ppl who earn more than what educated guy do, but in those 90% will be involved in business and I dont think none of these guys pay TAX to govt.

And I felt during most of the show Gopinath was desperate to prove that people who score less and earn more. The point is good, it will be encouraging for people who dont score much, but it also sends a wrong message. Checkout any small shops run in India, 99% of small shops/real estate/any small business ventures, lacks accountability. No body knows how much they earn, most of the money they earn becomes black money.

Even though this is out of context with respect to the program, what I felt bad, not even single thought given for innovations, invention and people who have achieved the same.
